Kung Fu Quote of the Day
"You tell a man he is something less than a man, and say it often enough, and even he will believe it. The price he pays is easy to see. The price you pay is hidden, but it is just as deep."

Story of My Life
My Dad and I went to New York City twice after he was diagnosed with PSP. The last time, we got a room in nice hotel overlooking Central Park. Very expensive. We woke up after they stopped serving dinner. Since he was severely disabled, they let us eat leftovers from the continental breakfast in the lobby of the hotel. I was twenty seven years old, but it felt sort of like this.
